Praying With Lior

Ilana Trachtman / UK / English / 87 min / Official Website

Lior, who has Down Syndrome, has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon - prompting those around him to call him a “spiritual genius.” Lior’s mother passed away when he was six but her words and spirit hover over the film.  As Lior approaches his Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony, different characters provide windows into a life spent “praying with Lior.” The movie poses difficult questions about defining disability and who really talks to God.
